This policy is amended as follows:

The provision, Transfers is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

                                    Transfers

You may transfer amounts among the Investment Subdivisions of the Separate
Account by sending a written request to us at our Home Office. We reserve the
right to limit the number of transfers if it is necessary for the policy to
continue to be treated as a life insurance policy by the IRS. We also reserve
the right to refuse to execute any transfer if any of the Investment
Subdivisions that would be affected by the transfer are unable to purchase or
redeem shares of the Mutual Fund in which the Investment Subdivision invests.

The transfer will be effective as of the end of the valuation period during
which we receive your request at our Home Office. The first transfer in each
calendar month will be made without a transfer charge. Thereafter, each time
amounts are transferred a transfer charge will be imposed. This transfer charge
is shown in the policy data pages. When we make transfers, the cash value on the
date of the transfer will not be affected by the transfer except to the extent
of the transfer charge. The transfer charge will be taken from the amount
transferred.
